About the Book Unlock the story of the Locke siblings after their father's murder as they return to their ancestral home of Keyhouse, a place filled with dark doors and magic keys that open them, and a malicious presence that will stop at nothing for the Omega Key. The Locke children have just begun to rebuild their lives when little Bode discovers a key with incredible power. The dead plot against the living and the darkness closes in on Keyhouse as Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode find themselves fighting a desperate battle against the night. Danger stalks every move of the Locke siblings as Lucas “Dodge” Caravaggio continues his relentless quest for the key to the black door. Dodge’s search for the Omega Key to open the Black Door is almost complete. But Tyler and Kinsey have a dangerous key of their own—one that can unlock all the secrets of Keyhouse by opening a gateway to the past. After two lifetimes and countless victimes, Lucas “Dodge” Caravaggio finally has the key to open The Black Door. Those who have stood against him for so long take their places one last time.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A modern masterpiece..." — AV Club

"It's great! ...The art here by Gabriel Rodriguez is some of the finest stuff in comics today... The team of Hill and Rodriguez is top notch!" — 
Blair ButlerFresh Ink

"Solid pacing and plot twists, combined with Rodriguez's clean lines and detailed pencils make Locke & Key a lock for best horror book of the week." — 
Wizard Magazine

"In a year of auspicious comics debuts, Joe Hill turned in one of the few comics that truly came from a different place. Written with skill that makes me jealous, courage that makes me smile, and honesty and brutality that makes me want to see what comes next. Okay, I'm officially a fan." — 
Ed Brubaker

"A modern suspense thriller meets something more wondrous and magical." — IGN

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, Terrible binding - falls apart upon first read!!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 13, 2022
I dont normally write reviews of products since most everything bought through Amazon works out alright.
But in this case, i though it important to leave a message to anyone thinking to buy this graphic novel via Amazon that this specific comic series falls apart literally after the very first read!
I had bought this first time around, and after reading the first few pages, the binding was falling apart after flipping each page just once...ive bought a few other comic series through Amazon, never had this issue before, so i requested a return and for them to send a replacement copy...but the replacement copy also has the same issue, all pages falling out of the binding after a single read. Ive attached photos to show what a nightmare this is and just warn anyone buying that this might happen to your version...dont know whether this is an issue with storage at the Amazon Depot since i managed to find a copy at my local bookstore, zero issues with binding!!! Anyway, best of luck, hope this helps
